Note to Wolfram:
As messages about this particular "gotcha" keep appearing and
reappearing time after time after time (from me among others), perhaps
it's time to implement a more long-term solution to this whole "Operator
Substitution" hassle than just repeatedly replying to these newsgroup
messages.
It may be too late to change the default setting on the Operator
Substitution option -- although my view would be that if a user
explicitly specifies FontFamily->xxx, the user has stated what she
wants, and Operator Substitution should definitely be automatically
turned off.
In addition:
1) Add at least a brief notation on this issue in the Help messages for
TextStyle and other places, so useres will at least learn of the
Operator Substitution problem and have a pointer to look for more
detailed info.
2) *Much* upgraded documentation within the Help system of the
(presently very mysterious) "PrivateFont" and "OperatorSubstitution"
options
"Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Lord Acton (1834-1902)
"Dependence on advertising tends to corrupt. Total dependence
on advertising corrupts totally." (today's equivalent)
